| | Can't Change Workgroup Name I have a Vista PC and an XP PC and on the Vista PC, I can not change the Workgroup to the name of my home workgroup. I get an network error message when I click on the Apply button. There are no special characters or spaces in my home workgroup name. What's interesting is that when I do a Query of the Network computers on the Vista PC, I can navigate to the folders that are shared on the XP PC. The problem I'm having is that I am trying to share a printer that is physically connected to the XP machine with the Vista PC. Even though both PC's are on the same physical network but on different Workgroups, I can see my XP machine, which I thought was not possible, if you're on two different workgroups. I have temporarily turned off the Firewall on both computers, but I get the same network error message. |
